Over the last few years approaches to the philosophy of mat hematics that focus on mathematical practice have been thriving. Such approaches include the study o f a wide variety of issues concerned with the way mathematics is done, evaluated, and applied, and i n addition, or in connection therewith, with histo rical episodes or traditions, applications, educat ional problems, cognitive questions, etc. In 2009, a group of researchers in this field gathered to promote the creation of the Association for the Ph ilosophy of Mathematical Practice, APMP. This asso ciation aims to become a common forum that will st imulate research in philosophy of mathematics rela ted to mathematical activity, past and present, an d foster joint actions. The Fourth International M eeting of the Association for the Philosophy of Ma thematical Practice will be held on October 23-27, 2017, in Salvador da Bahia, Brazil.
\nWe welcome paper proposals within the ar ea of the philosophy of mathematical practice. A t itle and abstract (250-500 words) should be sent b efore January 31, 2017. Post-doctoral fellows and doctoral students are highly invited to send propo sals.
